Disposing of your fridge or freezer 
(Help us look after the Environment)
You need to check if your fridge or freezer contains F gas before you get rid of it.

Some fridges and freezers contain fluorinated greenhouse gas (or ‘F gas’).
The type of F gas usually found in fridges and freezers is hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) gas.
You should check the instruction manual that came with your fridge or freezer to find out if it contains one of the following:

• HFC 134a
• HFC 245fa
• HFC 3465mfc

F gas fridges and freezers stopped being produced from 1 January 2015.

You can still buy or sell an F gas fridge or freezer if it was made before this date.

The fridge doors may need to be removed due to safety reasons before collection.

There are 3 legislation acts relating to responsible fridge disposal
